Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a chronic esophageal inflammatory disease mediated by oral antigens with the infiltration of eosinophilic granulocytes. EE can lead to various reflux-like symptoms including dysphagia, progressive strictures and bolus obstruction. EE mostly affects young male population and is associated with atopic disorders and sensitization to oral antigens. Environmental (antigens) and genetic factors (eotaxin-3) have been reported to play role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Symptoms and histological changes are reversible by the elimination of the allergens and the use of anti-inflammatory agents. Remission requires long-term treatment. Strictures with severe symptoms require mechanical balloon dilatation.

Comprehensive analysis of tumor immune-related gene signature for predicting prognosis, immunotherapy, and drug sensitivity in bladder urothelial carcinoma.
Transl Cancer Res

Department of Urology, Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University, Chifeng, China.
Background: Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is globally recognized as a prevalent malignancy. Its treatment remains challenging due to the extensive morbidity, high mortality rates, and compromised quality of life from postoperative complications and the lack of specific molecular targets. Our aim was to establish a prognostic model to evaluate the prognostic significance, assess immunotherapy responses, and determine drug susceptibility in patients with BLCA.

Background: Mycobacterium bovis BCG is the human tuberculosis vaccine and is the oldest vaccine still in use today with over 4 billion people vaccinated since 1921. The BCG vaccine has also been investigated experimentally in cattle and wildlife by various routes including oral and parenteral. Thus far, oral vaccination studies of cattle have involved liquid BCG or liquid BCG incorporated into a lipid matrix.

Background: Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) can be a severe, life-threatening toxicity following CAR T-cell therapy. While currently evaluated by the immune effector cell-associated encephalopathy (ICE) score, not all patients have changes in their ICE score and not all signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity are captured.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, single center cohort pilot study to evaluate a novel, rapid neurocognitive assessment tool (CART-NS) in detecting early, subtle neurotoxicity prior to the onset of ICANS and any deterioration in the ICE score.

The generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) through interactions with antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is essential for establishing tolerance to gut commensals. Recent findings highlight the critical role of RORγt-lineage APCs, especially in gut-associated lymphoid tissues, in the induction of microbiota-specific peripheral Tregs and maintaining gut immune homeostasis.

Backgroud: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a generally dismal prognosis and no standard of care established, despite a known association with epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and androgen receptor (AR) over-expression.
Case: We report the case of a 64-year-old female with extra- and intracranial metastases of SDC with evidence of AR and HER2 overexpression. After progression on first line chemotherapy, was administered neratinib, a pan-Erb2 receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
